O heart, alas for you! Do not let folly carry you away.
O my heart, do not be carried away by passion
Indeed, those you used to love have departed.
Indeed, those you once loved have now departed

Why do they not care, when they have abandoned you
while you nearly burned from parting with them?
While you from their abandonment have nearly burnt
قدindeed كنتُI was أشفقُI fear مماfrom what قدalready فجعتُI was stricken with grief بهby it
قد كنتُ أشفقُ مما قد فجعتُ به

I had feared what has stricken me with grief,
I was heartbroken by what had aggrieved me
if fear can shield one burning with anguish.
If only sympathy could relieve a grieving heart
